A couple days ago, I made pho broth in a slow cooker with short rib bones, oxtail, and pho aromatics. I skimmed off PLENTY of fat and for some reason decided to strain it for later use. I had pho flavored fat….and pho broth. The obvious thing to do was make pho gravy! I suddenly had a flashback to a […]

Anyone who knows me knows that I love gimmicky foods. From 7-11’s Doritos loaded to Taco Bell’s Naked Chicken Chalupa. The weirder the better. I’m so there! I’ve been even more fascinated with the foods they come out with in Japan. Although the restaurants have originated from our country, why is it that they come out with more interesting products? […]

Waking up to the pitter patter of rain on a Sunday morning, I realized that the weather has foiled my plans to go to the Zoo. I was not disappointed, however. Something about being at home when it rains feels very comforting. I took this as a sign to make pie. I had joined the Food52 Cookbook Club Facebook page […]

To our surprise, the noodles weren’t deathly spicy. Don’t get me wrong…it was spicy, but had really good flavor to it. We all just wanted a taste of […]

It must be Korean week en la casa de Mish because I am on a roll! Tonight, I made bindaetteok, mung bean pancakes. I have never eaten this previously so I didn’t know what to expect. I used Maangchi’s recipe, minus the pork and fernbrake because I didn’t have any. The batter is very simple to make. Soak mung beans […]

Sundays are the best. It’s the day of the week I do most of my grocery shopping and plan my meals for the week. A day of relaxing before work and sometimes trying something new. On my trip to H-Mart, I spotted this pack of Ottogi Cheese Ramen. I had been wanting to use my new gold Korean noodle pot […]
